HTC Touch Pro passes FCC in CDMA flavor


Among the many ducks that Sprint (and Verizon?) will need to get in a row in order to launch their own version of HTC's Touch Pro, FCC certification ranks pretty freakin' high on the list. No worries, though -- it's all good, because that just happened. An HTC device with model number "RAPH800" has now popped up in the filing system, featuring CDMA with EV-DO on the 850 and 1900MHz bands. Of course, certification is certainly no indication of when a product's actually going to launch, but if (heaven forbid) the glossy QWERTY WinMo slider gets delayed, at least we can call out anyone trying to slide the "we're waiting on FCC clearance" excuse past us.

I am expecting a realistic release date some time in march for Verizon customers. (just my own personal opinion) I already have the plan in motion to get it when it comes out. :)

and if you look at the fcc numbers on there its showing the direct connect feature.... so could this be the first ppc to entegrate the direct connect feature??? if so GREAT and more of a selling point to me!!!!! i just noticed that too and gave my boy a call and confirmed the numbers for the FCC do line up with allowing direct connect and no other ppc has so far had that. :fingerscrossed:

Yeah, Sprint always gets the good phones first.

Why does everyone like direct connect so much? I've never used it... I don't know anyone that has it, so even if I got it, who would I talk to? Lol... I guess I would have to direct connect to you guys!
